I'm pretty sure the whole reason that Ellone is at Garden in the first place was that Edea sent her there to get her away from herself because she could sense herself losing control and that she was fighting against Ultimecia's possession or whatever. I'm pretty sure Edea says something along those lines in Disc 3, or maybe Ellone does. I'm not sure. Either way, I think it was Edea's decision for Ellone to get off the White SeeD Ship for a while and take refuge at Garden.

So there's a pretty good chance Cid knows that much, at least.

And at the very least, Cid should have some idea that Squall is some sort of "child of destiny." I can't imagine Edea didn't tell him about it. Plus, it's pretty clear throughout Disc 2 that Cid is trying to groom him for leadership, much to Squall's own chagrin, so I'd imagine he knows about his destiny. You'd kinda sorta have to think that Cid has SOMETHING in mind for Squall for him to send him off on such a vague assignment the day after he becomes a SeeD.

But who knows.

Stop trying to defend Squall Leon!

I'm not defending, merely proclaiming!
